Moya Cole Hospice Launches Free Furniture Collection Initiative
As the spring cleaning season approaches, many residents find themselves contemplating what to do with old or unwanted furniture items. Moya Cole Hospice has stepped forward with a practical solution, offering a completely free collection service for furniture in good condition. This initiative not only helps households declutter but also supports the hospice's vital care services through generous public donations.
How to Arrange Your Furniture Collection
The hospice's trading team has established multiple convenient methods for arranging furniture pickups. Collections are available Monday through Thursday, with bookings primarily managed through an online form on the hospice's official website. Once submitted, a dedicated team member will contact donors to finalise collection details.
For those preferring direct communication, alternative arrangements can be made:
- Telephone the Ardwick shop at 0161 272 6299 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday, 9:30am-4:30pm)
- Message the team via WhatsApp on the same number, providing photographs of furniture items along with your postcode
Essential Donation Guidelines
Before scheduling a collection, donors should ensure all furniture meets specific quality standards. The hospice requests that items be clean, complete, and in good working condition where applicable. Particular attention must be paid to upholstered furniture, which requires attached fire labels - with each piece in a set needing its own individual label.
White goods are accepted provided they're in satisfactory condition. The trading team will ask several preliminary questions before confirming any collection booking to ensure items meet donation criteria. For additional information, donors can email ardwick@sah.org.uk or consult the hospice's privacy policy regarding data processing.
Supporting Vital Hospice Care Through Donations
The Ardwick furniture store operates entirely through public generosity, with every donated piece contributing to fundraising for ongoing patient care. Moya Cole Hospice provides comprehensive holistic care for patients with life-limiting illnesses across multiple locations including Heald Green in Stockport and Little Hulton in Salford.
Services extend beyond hospice walls through community outreach programmes, including:
- Hospice at Home services in Salford and Trafford
- Community Specialist Palliative Care Team in Salford
- Homelessness palliative care service in Manchester
- 24-hour telephone advice line for patients, carers and healthcare professionals across Salford, Manchester, Trafford and Stockport
This free furniture collection service represents a practical way for the public to support these essential services while responsibly disposing of unwanted household items. For detailed information about acceptable and non-acceptable donations, visit the hospice's Donating Goods webpage.
